For 142 years, a misspelled surname kept a Canadian who died in the Civil War from getting a proper headstone. That changed on Sat. March 25, 2006, with the unveiling of a new headstone for Pvt Dennis Buckley, who died on July 20, 1864 at the Battle of Peachtree Creek while fighting for Union forces in the Confederate South.

The new headstone notes that he was a recipient of the Medal of Honor for bravery, awarded posthumously on April 7, 1865. Pvt Buckley was one of only an estimated 65 Canadians to be awarded that honour. A representative from Canadian Consulate General in Atlanta attended the ceremony and layed a wreath at the grave of Pvt Buckley.
